Is science too obsessed with metrics, large-scale projects & “blockbuster” outputs? Desai & Jun argued that preserving the "auteur" spirit of individual creativity, exploration and risk-taking is essential for maintaining the creativity that drew us into science in the 1st place.

It's wild how quickly we consider the reliable production of food as a trivial solved problem, especially as silicon technologies advance. Agriculture is by no means solved, by no means trivial, and by no means secure. All the longevity hype means nothing if we don't have food.
